There's no doubt Williams can run the floor with the best of them (Kidd, Nash, etc), and I guess it all depends on what a team needs. If I knew what I know now, and I had my pick, I'd still take Gordon on the college level, even if it was for only one year. And you're right, Williams was the 3rd pick, not the second. ^_^ |

I was having a decent day, and then you had to remind me of Carson Cunningham.... *shivers* He had Kobe visions trapped inside the body of a slow, awkward, white guy. |

Well I'd expect an IU fan to take Gordon over an Illinois player any day of the week. I think you are very much wrong, but thats a personal opinion and you can have it. I'd rather start with a heady, skilled PG (not many of them around) then a high quantity scoring guard (plenty more of those around). Those are just differences in opinions of play style and likings. Gordon is a good start to a lot of teams, but not one that I would want to build. |

Well, I did say raw talent.. I doubt if Gordon will ever be as smart as Williams 'on the floor'. :cheers: |

IU and Illinois really have nothing to do with it, dc. I'd take Beasley over Gordon in a heartbeat. |

I will take White for 4 years over Beasley in less than a heartbeat, I will take Carl Landry over Beasley if Beasley is only there for 1 year. |

The topic of discussion is NBA prospects, in which case, Beasley has to be the consensus #1 pick. |

Didn't the Pacers pick Reggie Miller over Alford? I'd say that "gamble" worked out pretty well for them in the long run! |

Well, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I would love for Gordon to do well in the NBA, he is from my hometown city, and its always good for the Indiana basketball reputation. I just have serious doubts about his impact at the next level. He has a lot of work to do, which I'm sure he will do it, but he is a ways off from being what is expected of him. Lets hope the pressure doesn't get to him. |

Reggie Miller was as good of a player as Alford from day 1. Thats not what I'm saying, I just don't think that Gordon would do the Pacers much good. With the pieces that we have in place, I don't like the fit, nothing against Gordon or anything at all. I'm just not sold on his game at the NBA level, and think if the Pacers have that high of a pick could possibly get somebody better. |

Like I said originally, hopefully the NBA sees it the way some of you guys do. I'd like to see him stick around for a few more years. :cheers: |

I'd actually prefer him to leave :lol: . He will get drafted high, there is no doubt in my mind about that. You can't pass up that athleticism and shooting touch at the 8,9, or 10 spots of the draft. My opinion is that he lacks the skills of the game to succeed at the NBA level. He has a nice shot, but it doesn't seem very consistent. He doesn't handle the ball particularly well (even before the injury) and doesn't pass particularly well. I guess that is stuff that can be worked on, but who knows. I haven't seen much improvement 25 games into a college career. |

It really depends on his coach and who was around him. I don't see his scoring getting anything over 25 a game. He would probably cut his turnovers down. Its hard to say, people develop and grow at different rates. I can't say that he would improve his game as much as a player like Keaton Grant did from last year to this year. Its possible, but hard to say. He seems a lot like he did a year ago when I watched him in HS, still makes many of the same mistakes. |
